They say everyone plans the wedding but no one plans for the marriage, a problem Sam Aaron contemplates as he cautiously considers new love in the wake of a failed marriage.
Sam is a musicology student and the lead poet of the irreverent rock band Whacking Poetic. Out of the spotlight, Sam and his surgical resident wife Alex perform a perfectly rehearsed lifelong duet- she manages the rigid timekeeping while he provides the song and dance.
Then, over the course of a single Halloween evening in 2005, Alex threatens divorce, the band's fame train gets derailed, and Sam meets Sarah Ashbury, a whimsical singer-songwriter that would soon join the band and upend Sam's understanding of love and artistic impact. Soon, Sam's marriage becomes a dissonant fugue while Sarah's mesmerizing voice and alluring persona quicken the band's tempo. Sam's world evolves through a sonata of emotions, the first movement a dirge of atonal uncertainty that comes with marriage failure. The second movement is a harmonically suspended chorale of new love that doesn't quite resolve, but instead collapses into the third and final movement, a crescendoing counterpoint of incompatible goals.

Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny.

She stunned herself with this revelation as she paced back and forth. "This can't be real. You can't be real. Are you secretly a prince too? Or maybe just a wealthy CEO of a big corporation?"

"Either you're a bad cliché or too good to be true. Neither one is what I need right now." She backed off further, "I've gotta go." He stepped towards her and she retreated more.
